My Granny's birthday was on Tuesday. We went out to dinner and I put half of my meal in a box to take home. Followed by her little party of cake and ice cream. Very thin slice of cake and a small bowl of ice cream. Felt good because I didn't deny myself of anything - but I showed more restraint than I ever had and didn't feel 'punished'.33

3. I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased a bargain pair of new boots for my interview outfit (end of season sales are great!), and they're a much higher heel than I'm used to wearing. I managed just fine walking around in them, and decided to try out my other heels to see how they fit. I can walk in those too! Apparently it wasn't the heel height that made them so hard to wear - I just couldn't balance in them because I was so heavy. It's much easier now! I danced, and I even ran across the room in them, just to prove to myself that I could. I also have a pair of "party heels" (burgundy crushed velvet!) that I haven't been able to get my feet into for years because they felt far too narrow and constricting. I must have lost some weight on my feet now, because those fit too. There is no other word for what I was doing around the bedroom, in these various shoes and clothes I've been trying on lately, than "swaggering"...
4. I'm a little shy to admit this, but I dressed up for my hubby in nice lingerie, stockings and a pair of heels, and I felt sexy! Usually I look in the mirror and feel like it's pointless wearing such things because I feel so bad about the way I look, so I like the way my opinion about myself is changing. (Hubby was very appreciative of the effort, and kept telling me I looked sexy too!)
I have also noticed that I can wear heels more comfortably and they also really give me a sense of confidence and sassy-ness.
I also strut when I'm feeling myself particularly well. like yesterday and today. It feels good to be so confident doesn't it!

Energy. I actually have energy in the morning. Like, I didn't even know I didn't have any energy in the morning until I started having energy in the morning. The thing is, I was a chronic breakfast skipper. Recently, I've started eating breakfast and now I have actual energy in the morning!28

okay so a few things
1. I actually bought a bikini, actually I bought two of them
2. I tried them on and they fit pretty good and I didn't hate the way I looked
3. I SHOWED PEOPLE THE PICTURES I TOOK IN THEM! which is a big deal.
4. I was speaking with a friend of mine last night (we have dinner on Wednesday's) I was wearing leggings and a tank top and she said it was super noticeable how much smaller I looked and said I looked like I had lost another 20 lbs. Which I haven't in the time frame she was speaking about. She also told me I look like I weigh like 160, which I do not. I told her I weigh 193 and she told me to buy a new scale because there was literally no way that was true. AND she commented that she could really see the muscle definition in my legs!!!!! Which made me feel awesome! I've always had bigger legs because they're very strong but I have always felt a little self conscious of that because sometimes I feel like they just look chunky but she was very adamant that she could see muscle definition in them even when I was just standing there!!!! ALL OF THOSE SQUATS ARE PAYING OFF!!!! I mean so are the rest of the exercises but I do love those squats!36 -
I put on a pair of these little high waisted denim shorts that I bought in the fall during an after Summer sale and they fit! I bought them online and I was embarrassed because I had to swap them for a larger size in the store. Even the larger size felt kind of tight. Anyway yesterday they went on with a breeze and were so super comfortable. Not too snug and they covered everything. I am so happy!22

I recently had two pair of size 22 jeans mended that I'd busted the zipper on 2 years ago (both were brand new) because I was having to unbutton them to sit comfortably. When I had them mended (a month ago) one was perfect and the other a tiny bit too tight. Both pair are loose now, and one I have to keep hiking up to keep from showing my booty to strangers! (I LOATHE belts, but I am going to have to get one soon.)26

I bought my first pair of jeans that wasn't from the fat girl department last night. Granted, I think the Kohl's Sonoma stretch brand is quite forgiving, but I slid comfortably into a pair of size 14 jeans (I had to go down from the size 16 which was a hair large).
Size 14.
No "W." Just 14.44 -
Not sure this is a "victory", but it just happened: after losing almost 50lbs I was walking across the lobby of my employment all the while feeling my underwear sliding down! This may be a long day Guess I should go shopping37

I've been taking aerial classes.
Really been struggling with my inversions off of the floor, lost them for a couple weeks after being sick. Managed to do three long arm inversion in a row yesterday in class.18 -
After about 2 months of seasonal SADness, I was able to make myself exercise again. Destroying some HIIT workouts these past two weeks and using the elliptical to start building up endurance for outdoor running season26

I love squats too!! This is literally the first time in my entire life that I actually like how my legs look and have muscle definition & shapely legs instead of just chubby squishy chunky thighs!! Thank you squats!!! (And deadlifts and lunges and step ups)12 -

I'm so close to loving my legs 100%!!! there's just a little chunk on my inner thigh that i'd like to firm up a bit and then they are there! Now if my stomach could just cooperate a little better
ALSO a NSV I can now wear a 12 comfortably.16 -

Ha, this is the worst, isn't it?! I mean it's a great sign but a strange thing to have to put up with all day. I had to buy new underwear as well as socks a couple months ago. My socks also wouldn't stay up. And my loafers barely stay on my feet. Enjoy lingerie shopping!7 -
I've gone to the gym every morning for three weeks. I'm not calorie counting at the moment and whilst I have put on "6" kilos since stopping the counting i've now reached a happy slow bulk.13

I splurged on some really nice running shoes. I've never bought sneakers for more than 30$ before... But I have plenty of heels and wedges in higher price ranges.20

I've been running for about 15 years on and off, and have always enjoyed entering races even though I'm not particularly fast. But on Saturday I ran a 5k race and somehow managed to finish third in my age group. First time I've ever been placed. I'm ridiculously chuffed about it. My prize was a beer koozie with "Top Finisher" emblazoned on it. I'm still grinning like an idiot.45
